Summary/Abstract: It is well known that in recent years, the issue of sustainable development, economic competitiveness, convergence and, recently, the integrated development, constitutes the major landmarks of the concerns of the majority of EU member countries. And, nevertheless, all the objectives of development undertaken at European Union, at the national or local level, are strongly marked by socio - demographics phenomena which manifestations are difficult to predict or control. Assuming that the economic development at the national or territorial level is crucial influenced by the context of socio-demographic and by its evolution, we can say that, in fact, national or regional population, the population density, age or residential structure of population, rate of ruralisation or urbanisation, the rate of net internal or external migration, and the degree of aging of the population, poverty rates, and other information that define the profile for a national population, is a good starting point for a better definition of several economic issues, and so, that any changes in demographics nationwide, at regional and area of residence may cause major implications on the development potential of the entire country , as the main factor of influence.
